Population Biology (Zoology/Botany 652; co-taught with
Curt Daehler of the Botany Department): Population ecology and
some population genetics and behavioral ecology, with an emphasis
on models.

Research

I am interested generally in the population dynamics of species
interactions. Much of my research has been on the dynamics of parasitoid-host
interactions, and how these are affected by parasitoid characteristics
and by population spatial structure. More recently I have been involved in studies of plant-pollinator interaction networks.

I also collaborate on a wide variety of research projects by providing statistical assistance. In some cases this has led me to do research on statistical methods, including both developing new methods and evaluating the effectiveness of existing methods.
